Brown County State Park

This is a wonderful absolutely beautiful state park. Make sure and visit during fall time if you can, the views are stunning and the leaves are so colorful & bright. We love hiking the trails, checking out the fire watch towers, exploring around the lakes. Great campgrounds. Bathrooms are always nice and clean. The nature center is nice & the attached bathrooms that are open even when the center is closed is nice, always clean & you can refill your water bottles here. Dog friendly, we've brought along our 3 dogs to walk the trails lots of times. Nice pool during the summer. Horseback riding. The playgrounds are great too and my kiddos love them. This park is definitely a must visit. So beautiful & peaceful! An outdoor lovers DREAM!

Stayed one weekend camping and mountain biking. The park has diverse trails for MTB, hiking, and horse riding. The shower rooms and restroom at the campground are kept clean.

Love the Hesitation Point trail. A good mix of technical then smoother end to the North Gate.

The park is busy in the fall season. The views at the vista points during the season are amazing. Lots of picnic tables scattered around under the shades of trees and vista points.

Excellent nature spots.
Good for kids too!
Ample parking spaces !

Oh, I absolutely love coming by for horse riding ! Sometimes horses are available immediately and on busy days you might need to wait for a few hours! Explore the trails while you wait.. it’s worth it :)

Largest and most scenic state park in Indiana. Hopped on a couple of the trails today without any issue. Passed a couple mountain bikers, who had more guts than me on these trails. A few pull offs for great views without hiking. Lakes. Camp grounds. Horse trailers. Really can’t go wrong.

Brown County State Park is a nature lover's paradise! The park offers a diverse range of outdoor activities, from scenic hiking trails to picturesque picnic spots. The natural beauty, including the stunning views from the tower, is awe-inspiring. Well-maintained facilities and friendly staff make it a top-notch destination. Whether you're into hiking, birdwatching, or just unwinding in nature, Brown County State Park is a must-visit gem in Indiana.

Beautiful park to visit in the fall. Horseback trails were great for all ages, 7-77. Close to Nashville, the two stops make for a great day out.

Beautiful, lots of picnic tables close pull offs. Good for elderly, disable who can not walk far. I was very pleased with the whole day at Brown County.

Beautiful Park even in the winter. You can see a lot more when the leaves are gone.
Planning on camping there again.

One of the best fall colors I’ve seen. Arguably, as good as Upper Peninsula or maybe even better. The hikes had beautiful foliage

Really something for everyone here. Hiking, biking, horse trails, outdoor swimming pool, lodge with indoor swimming pool, playgrounds, cabins, camping, restaurant, picnic areas, scenic drives, horseback riding during the spring, summer and fall. It is easily accessible from Hwy 46 and a short drive from Nashville. One of Indianas' best State Parks full of adventures for the individual or families.

It is one of the best kept natural gems that we have been to recently. Everything is so well maintained and so beautiful. Living in Colorado made us believe that we have every taste of natural beauty here, but a recent visit to Nashville,IN, and then going to Brown County State Park changed that perception. Hikes around the Ogle Lake and Waterfall at Strahl Lake were amazing, and throughout the park, scenic drives and picnic tables/shelters are there. One can stay inside the park in a lodge, cabin, or camp out. If you are a mushroom enthusiast, then you can spend days studying countless varieties. Lake Ogle is full of water dwellers, too. Wild flowers are in abundance. 100 or so feet tall tree will leave you awestruck. Restrooms and playgrounds are everywhere.

Very nice state park. Camped for a few days and hiked several trails. Can't wait to go back.

This is a beautiful park… The little Smokies! So much beauty… Super large plenty of hiking and mountain biking options also

Took my son and his two best friends recently. I love this place for both hiking and camping.
It is best to come on fall. But gorgeous year around. I would go there anytime.

First I'd like to share this is not free, you do have to pay for parking which for us was 9$ which okay fair, just didn't realize there was a charge. Other than that, what a marvelous place! SOOO many trails to choose from, some longer than other, some rougher than others, and some more mushrooms then others. Ha! Overall, if we are ever back in this area, we'd love to try more of the trails. Thank you!!

A gorgeous state park with lots of activities.
There are lots of overlooks and lookout towers.
One of the best state parks in Indiana

The scenery around trail 7 was beautiful and peaceful. We didn't stop there, but there is a very nice picnic area by Ogle Lake.

Camped at the Horseman's camp, first time in the last ten years and it was wonderful! The parks and local horse clubs have done an excellent job improving the campground and horse trails. Nice pit toilets, concrete manure pits, gravel sites. Trails in good condition even after rain. There are two dump stations in the horse camp so you don't have to go up to the main campground to dump.

This was a fantastic place to go with my friend! The hike was not very strenuous, and the lake view was great! We took our time and enjoyed the views. Then the scenic drive was fun to go through as well

A gorgeous park with lots of hiking and biking options! The trails and facilities are well kept. Enjoyed the fall colors in mid-October!
